New bearded dragon owner - question about stress marks

So yesterday I brought home a new baby bearded dragon after doing tons of research on care, feeding, tank setups, etc. After I brought it home I noticed it's getting some (what I think are stress marks) on it's belly. From what I understand this is completely normal for a baby bearded dragon bug that isn't stopping me from being nervous. It's been eating a lot of crickets, worms, asparagus, and collared greens so it hasn't lost it's appetite, and I think the tank temperature is fine as well (85 degrees on one side, and about 75 on the other). It's been basking and has it's mouth open while basking which I understand to be a good sign. Can anyone offer any advice? How long does it normally take for new environment stress marks to go away? Should I be worried if they're still there after a couple days? Pics below
